Goodman Trio Piping Live Concert 2021

A concert featuring music from the Canon James Goodman Collection played by Emer Mayock, Mick O’Brien and Aoife Ní Bhriain. Recorded in the ITMA Reading Room Dublin, the performance was originally shown in August 2021 at the online Piping Live 2021 Festival, and also includes interviews with Nicholas Carolan and Lisa Shields. James Goodman (1828−1896), a native of Dingle, Co. Kerry, was a canon of the Church of Ireland and Professor of Irish at Trinity College Dublin (TCD). During his lifetime he compiled an exceptional music and song manuscript collection which was deposited in TCD Library following his death. In collaboration with TCD, ITMA has digitised and made freely available online the six manuscript volumes. They contain over 2,000 melodies and upwards of 80 songs or poems compiled by James Goodman from oral, manuscript and printed sources at his disposal in mid-19th century southern Ireland.
